Chapter 36: The Copycat Has a Key Item

Abandoning the tasks and rewards given by the system, Liang Shicheng succeeded in copying a library file that was still usable. Next, he had to test it with real guns and live ammunition.

As early as a few months ago, Liang Shicheng bought an abandoned parking lot. After a little renovation, he used it as his own experimental site. He also bought several cars, modified them, and installed a rotating high. The clear camera simulates the driver's eyes.

Driven by gears and large stepping motors, the steering wheel, brakes and throttle of the car can be manipulated by a circuit control board.

The control program and library files are all in place, and the supporting tool software has been developed. You only need to brush the program for this circuit board, and several ordinary cars will become driverless cars.

In this open space, a long reliability experiment began. Any modified car cannot be put on the road casually, not to mention that he does not even have a car brand.

You can only drive in private territory. For this reason, I also chose an area with no people around. At the same time, I don't want local passers-by to be scared by an empty car to sway the stock market.

The new control panel is rich in content. Through a large screen, the owner can issue a lot of commands, from reversing into the warehouse, and then reaching the designated destination.

As for avoiding obstacles and choosing a suitable route, it is all determined by the program.

After completing the basic driving school test questions, Liang Shicheng ordered these modified cars to run day and night in the open space, running at will, and from time to time he would invite a real driver to drive the car to cause them trouble, but after a few weeks, nothing happened. Even a friction accident.

The results of the experiment are very satisfactory. At least in terms of image recognition and emergency avoidance, there is no problem at all. The rest is just to add the map function, but this is not a problem.

Looking at these modified cars, Liang Shicheng understood that he has the technical qualifications to enter the field of driverless cars.

However, this is obviously not a qualified product. Autonomous driving is always bound to the concept of electric vehicles.

The mechanical transmission mode of traditional cars is cumbersome for driverless driving. In order to make it more convenient for the computer to directly control the car, it is the most ideal way to replace the engine fuel tank with four motors next to the tires that are constantly controlled by the circuit.

So Liang Shicheng made preparations early to enter the driverless electric vehicle market. The 300 million US dollars has not been spent so far, but it seems that he wants to enter this field.

According to inquiries, it is very common to spend hundreds of billions of RMB in the field of electric vehicles. How to take this little money in your own hands and make big gains with small amounts is a problem.

The electric vehicle market is not accessible to ordinary people if they want to enter. Although the state is now vigorously supporting it and giving a lot of preferential policies, and even direct cash subsidies for every car sold, but for companies that want to enter this industry Said that its qualifications also have strict requirements.

First of all, you cannot say that you have the technology and money to make progress. You must first have a traditional car brand and company, and you cannot directly apply for a brand-new company.

Therefore, any company that wants to enter this field must first own or acquire a traditional car company.

Liang Shicheng inquired about the market for a while, and found no company that plans to launch his own business. If this goes on, he can only directly buy an entire electric vehicle company, and he can also save some core technology research on electric vehicles. Produce earlier.

But in this way, the situation becomes worse. The reality is that because the concept of electric vehicles is very popular and has penetrated into the hearts of investors, many Internet companies with little experience have set foot in this industry and have already lost money. The traditional car companies that were going to fail have all bought and gone.

What is strange is that compared with traditional car companies, these electric car companies controlled by Internet companies have not made a penny, and have not even sold a few cars. On the contrary, the market value is scaryly high, compared with those with stable sales Traditional cars are much higher.

Electric cars have already been touted as the next frontier. Not only are traditional car companies throwing money frantically regardless of costs, but major capitals are also eyeing them.

The stocks of companies related to electric vehicles have performed very well, and the name of electric vehicles is also very popular, but the problem is that there are few electric vehicles on the road.

After some inquiries from friends in the industry, Liang Shicheng got a general idea of ​​this situation.

The domestic electric vehicle market is a potential bubble, ready to burst at any time, but only a few companies can survive successfully, and the leader will be Tesla.

At present, the biggest problem in the field of electric vehicles is that things are expensive. Once the price is close to one million, an important purpose of buying a car at this time is to save face. In this case, the advantages of traditional car brands are still obvious.

And since you can spend so much money on luxury cars, you won’t be attracted by the fuel-saving features of electric cars.

There are several shortcomings of electric vehicles that are temporarily unavoidable.

A short voyage, to be specific, there is no problem with running in the city, if you want to go out of the province, it will be a little troublesome.

So it is not suitable for traveling far away, only suitable for contemporary walking tools.

Second, the charging is slow, not only the voyage is short, in such a short voyage, after using the photoelectric, it takes more than 5 hours to recharge,

Basically, this time can only be used during the day and night.

For traditional cars, it takes only a few minutes to fill up the fuel, which makes the actual continuous range of traditional cars even more complete than electric vehicles.

3. There are few places for charging. Not only can you not see it in small cities, but it is also a rare thing in big cities. You must always be careful when driving this kind of car on the street. Don't run out of electricity.

In a word, electric cars can hardly travel far.

Because of this, all car owners with sufficient budgets will choose traditional cars. Therefore, electric cars will inevitably take the low-cost route in the short term. They will be popularized to some users before they can consider the next step.

But at present, many domestic car companies are busy cheating subsidies, and the products they make are not only not good performance, but also the price is not low.

To make matters worse, Tesla, relying on its scale and technical reserves, intends to bring its electric vehicles into the market below 300,000, and it also has autonomous driving functions.

If you want to survive, you must launch a car at this price that has bright spots and certain advantages over Tesla.

While obtaining this information, Liang Shicheng also learned about the loss-making status of domestic electric vehicle companies. Among them, the leading giants lost 30 billion RMB in just two years, and it took Tesla 15 years to lose money. Drop this number.

Of course, he didn't want to make the idea of ​​this company, after all, being able to lose so much is also a skill.

In the end, Liang Shicheng found the smallest one among many car companies, but he suffered a lot.

And through the invitation, the suit came straight to the company's plan to negotiate an acquisition. According to the information obtained by Liang Shicheng, the company's current technical reserves are not enough. The current price of their electric cars is maintained at around 600,000. , But there is no obvious advantage that can compete with Tesla’s 300,000 car. Of course, sales are also very bleak.

If this continues, the company will eventually be eliminated, but this is Liang Shicheng's only choice at the moment, and he is ready to become the next Panxia.

But when he said that the highest price he could offer was 250 million U.S. dollars paid in two batches, he was tactfully rejected by the other party, and he was also preached.

"If you want to stand in this field, you have to be at least 30 billion RMB. Although our business is temporarily frustrated, at least it is an old brand that has been deeply cultivated in this field for more than ten years. If we want to take over, there are too many people. There must be 20 billion!"

After touching his nose, Liang Shicheng was a little disappointed. I am afraid that only Boss Jia will not despise him for this little money at this moment.

"Yes, people Hengda has spent hundreds of billions of RMB. Although I have never heard of its electric cars, I want to enter this industry with this little money, which is too wishful thinking."

However, his ambition will not converge or retreat because of realistic resistance.

Finally, after some weighing and consideration, Liang Shicheng gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to successfully acquire an electric tractor factory.
